When people do that, what does it signify?

That they're laughing at something that's been said? Nothing that gets that response ever seems particularly funny. Or is it that you should laugh at what they've just written? Nettiquette is a minefield but it seems an odd thing do to. :lol:

I suppose it helps let people know that you are saying something in jest or lightheartedly, thus helping to avoid the more 'angry' type of NSC posters instantly wanting a 'cyber' fight and creating a binfest :angry:

It means 'this post does not mean I am foaming at the mouth with anger, and should be taken as the light hearted comment it was meant to be'

It was invented by Americans who dont understand irony, sarcasm and piss-taking.
It is similar to the way that you have to add "only kidding" on the end of a piss-taking sentence, otherwise an American will take it seriously.

I think I'm going to kill myself. I can't go on like this any more. My life is a mess. What's the point of it all? :lolol:

(See? I think it's weird. None of the above is, of course, true. Yet.)
